Re: ***Men's Basketball Magazine Predictions***

You mean a sophomore PG didn't start in front of Kalin Lucas, and didn't show great maturity or have the best shooting %? I'm sure in the two years since, he hasn't matured, or improved his basketball skills. We're sunk.

Re: ***Men's Basketball Magazine Predictions***

He also didn't sink this clutch 3 to help his team advance in the NCAA Tournament.

Re: ***Men's Basketball Magazine Predictions***

Yeah, I can live with the prediction of a 6th place finish. The 8th place finish, though, I think the guy wasn't paying attention.

Re: ***Men's Basketball Magazine Predictions***

After comparing this upcoming years team compared to last years team I think we will be a much better team this year. Here is why:

-A true PG with experience(Lucious) and a true PG backup with experience(Bubu) compared to one true PG last season.
-A true SF in Clyburn compared to no true SF last year.
-Being 2-3 deep at every position compared to last year having one true experienced PG, way too many SGs, and no true SF.
-6 returning players that played significant minutes last year compared to 3 returning players that played significant minutes in the 2010-11 season.
-Having 5 seniors(4 being RS Seniors) compared to 2 RS Seniors last year.
-A better defensive team adding Clyburn and Lucious to replace not the best defenders in Scott, Allen, and Royce.
-4 freshmen(added depth) compared to 2 freshmen last season.

-Yeah we lost Royce who could do it all. We lost Scott and Chris who could shoot it well from 3 and the free throw line. I think Clyburn will be able to replace most of what Royce did scoring wise. I think Lucious can replace Royce's passing. I think collectively as a team we can replace Royce's rebounding. I think all our posts collectively can replace Royce's post prescence. Clyburn, Lucious, Babb, and McGee can all make up for Scott and Allen's 3's. I just think overall we will be a much better team with more experience, balance, and depth at every position.
